A style sheet is a sheet summarizing the editorial conventions to be
followed in preparing text for publication
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a simple style sheet mechanism that allows
authors and readers to attach style to Web pages. It uses common desktop
publishing terminology which should make it easy for professional as well
as untrained designers to make use of its features. Visual design issues,
such as page layout, can thus be addressed separately from the Web page
logical structure.
This section is about software tools, objects, and components, it explores
the basics of engineering Web pages that are attractive and effective, yet
are easy to maintain and use. Ease of use will help to extend the life of a
